extra information^†

Definitions or explanations of words & phrases that are not strictly matters of religion, especially:

Latin words and related classical-language words, especially relevant as the predominant language of traditional Roman Catholicism;
ancient or early-Christian Era geography;
Roman history; and
ecclesiastical history (where issues of religious teachings are insignificant factors).

Rules and linguistic concepts for the expression of Latin, to most clearly convey or comprehend thoughts, ideas, and prayers in this language of “Veterum Sapientia” (“ancient wisdom”) [†], presented in the style of a glossary.

[Note †: The webmaster despairs that generations reared on sports-broadcasting cannot even distinguish the proper use of past tense from present tense in English for events (that are) hours or days past, e.g.: “he catches the ball in the end-zone, we win the game”. No expression of an action being the crucial condition that was failed, and no expression of the outcome actually being a failure: “had he caught the ball in the end-zone, we would have won the game” (but he didn't, so we lost). Sigh. So perhaps there's no one who'll be reading the webmaster's grammatical explanations, e.g.: about distinguishing subjunctive mood from indicative mood. ]

notions

Notes from investigation & literature-research [*] on issues related to the traditional Roman Catholic religion, presented in the style of a glossary:

traditional Roman Catholicism;
Novus Ordo “Catholicism”; and
ecclesiastical history (in which issues of religious teachings might be significant factors).

Cave ! Teaching of faith & morals is avoided. Traditionally, to be allowed to teach publicly, the Church has required either advanced levels of training, or approval in advance by clergy of episcopal rank (or clergy of lesser rank designated by someone of episcopal rank), in the form of the Nihil obstat and Imprimatur. The lay author of this Web page understands that he does not possess the level of formal training & experience in Catholic theology to be qualified to teach Catholic faith & morals. But the purpose of Web pages expressed almost entirely in text is to convey readable information. This is why the entries are best interpreted as his notes from his investigations of these topics.

[Note *: Latin “nōti·o, -ōnis” (f.): (literally) an investigation; (loosely) an idea or notion (in its English sense). ]
